“May you be blessed this Chinese New Year with health, wealth and longevity.Wish you four seasons of peace and a flourishing year. Gong Xi Fa Chai!”

Recently, I was here at the Halal Tung Yuen Chinese Restaurant at Grand BlueWave Hotel Shah Alam to sample their latest Chinese New Year Menu for 2018 ushering in the Year of the Dog. The Chinese New Year, the Year of the dog, will officially begin on the 23rd day of the 12th lunar month of the Chinese calendar.

Thumbs Up To The Halal Spread Of Chinese New Year Menu 2018

This year’s celebration will fall on February 16, lasting for seven days of joyous festivities, even though the festival technically lasts longer and ends on the 15th day of the first lunar month. The festive celebration should be continuous and Chinese New Year is all about family bonding and celebrating the moment of togetherness.

Rejoicing the festive, as Grand BlueWave Hotel Shah Alam is introducing Halal Lo Hei Poon Choy. Lo Hei Poon Choy is such a must-do in any festive meal during this time. Lo Hei Poon Choy is a traditional Chinese dish once common through China and served in a large wooden, porcelain or a metal basin due to the communal style of consumption. There will be two packages of Poon Choy which are Package A priced at RM988nett and Package B priced at RM1288nett.
